    <dd>The ILAYER element (also known as an 'inflow' or 'in-line' layer) was
        created by Netscape and allows an author to define precisely positioned
        2-dimensional layout consisting of overlapping layers of transparent
        or solid content on a web page. All the content between the opening
        and closing ILAYER tags can be treated as a single item of content
        that can be moved and altered in various ways. ILAYER elements that do
        not specify positioning will appear within the flow of a document (like
        an image.) If positioning values <em>ARE</em> used on this type of
        layer, the positioning coordinates are relative to where the layer would
        ordinarily occur in the document flow. The other tag-based method of
        defining a layer is through the use of the 'out-of-flow' or 'positioned'
        <a href="../l/layer.htm">LAYER</a> element.
        <br><br>

        Layers can have a stacking order that allows a virtual third
        z-dimension to be defined. Using this, layers can appear on top of
        other layers. Layers can also be transparent or solid; if
        transparent, the content of underlying layers shows through it.
        As if that wasn't enough, background colors or tiled images can also be
        specified for a layer (setting these attributes for a layer will
        negate its transparency property and layers below it will be obscured.)

<ul>
    <li><b class="alert">DTD Note:</b> ILAYER is a nestable in-line element, much 
        like the SPAN element. I am treating the behavior as similar to SPAN. This 
        may be a questionable decision, but there will never be any official behavioral 
        interaction documentation, so who's to argue? =)
    <li><b class="alert">DTD Note:</b> Since the DTD behavior is tenuous at best, 
        I have held off including the element in the Physical Formatting element 
        grouping. Consider the %Physical Formatting% group to contain the ILAYER 
        element if an inclusive behavioral model is desired.
    <li><b class="alert">Note:</b> It appears that content pointed to by the SRC 
        attribute should be a complete HTML document.
    <li>Only Netscape supported this element in its 4.x versions. Netscape 6.x+
        no longer supports this, so use of this element is discouraged. The same 
        capabilities are available with wider browser support via the 
        <a href="http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/propindex/position.htm">CSS 
        Positioning</a> <span class="external">[--&gt;Index DOT Css]</span> properties.
</ul>

<ul>
    <li><a href="../../../testing/html/tags/i/ilayer-bp1.htm">[Test]</a>
        There is some odd behavior with forms and the LAYER/ILAYER elements.
        If a LAYER/ILAYER element is nested <em>inside</em> a FORM element,
        and any widgets for the form (buttons, text fields, etc) are contained
        within the layer, they will not appear/be rendered. If a widget/field is
        to show up, the containing FORM element must lie <em>within</em> the
        same LAYER/ILAYER element as its widgets/fields.
    <li>Netscape 4.x does not correctly hyperlink to a bookmark (A NAME) that is
        nested inside an ILAYER element from another document. It succeeds in
        jumping to the document, and it <em>does</em> attempt to jump within the
        document, but it appears to scroll the document to where the element
        would be if it had not been re-positioned using the ILAYER (this may be
        incorrect reasoning, but it definitely does not scroll to the point in
        the document where the A NAME actually is rendered.) Hyperlinking to a
        bookmark nested in an ILAYER from within the same document appears to
        work correctly.
    <li>The OVERFLOW attribute is curious - if the attribute is not present, the
        behavior defaults to 'none', but if any value that is not 'none' is used,
        it behaves like 'clip'.
